Diaries of Hogwarts Past

Ok i owe you all an apology. I said I would have it up quickly, and I WAS expecting to, but unfortunately due to things like too much homework and random computer crashes, i only just finished it. Sorry!

Disclaimer: As much as I wish I was J.K Rowling and was able to claim that Harry Potter was mine, I'm not so I can't. Sad, I know.

Chapter 25 - 1st Year at Hogwarts

Kelsey's Diary 10:33pm 9th July 1972

I can't believe what happened today.

I'll skip the stupid bit where we decide to play hide and seek in the forest (stupid stupid stupid) and get to the bit where stuff starts getting interesting.

Like, seriously interesting.

Or, to be even more to the point, Sirius interesting (hehe love that joke)

So, when we went to go hide, we found a really awesome tree with heaps of branches everywhere and Sirius was like,

'Hey, let's climb the tree to hide!' Although it wasn't exactly like that.

I said no, because I don't really like climbing trees, but he went right up and was climbing up like a monkey.

Not that he looks like a money.

He doesn't.

I was just using that simile to describe how he-

OK never mind.

It was pretty cool.

Ok, it was very cool.

But that's not the point.

The point is that he went up and climbed the tree, and then, just after turning to smile at me (his smile was gorgeous! But no one tell him I said that), he slipped.

And I wish I could say he managed to grab hold of a branch and swing himself back up, but I can't.

He fell.

He told me later that he thought it was from 3 meters, but from where I was standing I knew it was 4.

He went to put his foot on a branch, but he put his foot down too close and fell straight down, almost flat on his face.

There was this sickening CRACK and he fell.

I must have stood there for at least 10 seconds, gaping in horror at him sprawled on the ground, before I did anything.

My feet seemed to move of their own accord, stumbling underneath me as I tried to regain my balance and run over to him.

I fell on my knees next to him and quickly looked over him.

He was lying in an awkward lying position on his side with his leg lying underneath him, and as far as I could see he wasn't moving.

I put my hand on his shoulders to try and roll him over when a horrible thought struck me.

What if he had broken his back?

Could people break their backs from 4 meter falls?

What if I rolled him over and made it worse?

I leaned over him and ran my hand softly down his spine, trying to see whether I could feel anything that I shouldn't, like cracks or something in the wrong place.

I couldn't feel anything, but that doesn't mean there wasn't anything there.

I hadn't pushed down very hard, so I could've easily missed something.

I quickly made a decision.

Luckily it turned out to be the right one.

I grabbed his shoulders and slowly turned him over so he was lying on his back.

I carefully pulled his leg out from under him and placed it flat.

I leant over and put my ear near his mouth.

I couldn't hear anything.

Almost panicking by this stage, I put my hand on his chest (no not like that diary!) and listened again.

This time I heard a faint whisper of air, and felt the rise of his chest.

I let out the breath I didn't know I had been holding.

So he was breathing. (Note: I don't even know why I thought he might've stopped breathing, so don't ask me diary. I was in a highly pressured situation!)

What do you do in this circumstance! I thought to myself frantically. I think he broke his leg, but I'm not sure. What if he broke his back and I just made it worse!

I calmed myself and tried to think rationally.

He fell from 4 meters; I heard a crack and run over to find his leg crushed beneath him.

Ok, so he must have broken his leg. I thought to myself, trying to think calmly. I need to find a splint and strap it to his leg so it stays straight.

I looked around frantically, skimming across the ground in search of a suitable stick to use as a splint.

Then I found one, lying almost next to Sirius.

It seems like he had knocked it off the tree as he had fallen.

It was almost a meter long and almost completely straight – perfect.

As I placed it against his leg I released I needed a bandage of some sort to strap it with.

In all those muggle TV shows it shows people tearing up shirts and stuff to use, so I decided to try that.

Although there was no way in a million years that I was going to use my shirt.

First of all, it is new shirt and would be a complete waste of money to rip up a whole shirt (well apparently you need a pretty long bandage)

And secondly, Sirius was going to wake up some time and as much as I'm sure he'd love to find a topless lady sitting next to him when he did, it wasn't going to happen.

I gently placed Sirius' arms above his head and slowly took his shirt off (no not like that! Gees diary what is with you today?).

And I don't say this about many guys, but Sirius looks better without a shirt on than with one on.

He has a full on six-pack!

To put it bluntly, Sirius is hot.

Really hot.

But don't tell him I said that or else.

I was just pulling it over his head when I heard,

'You know you don't need to wait until I'm unconscious to take my shirt off, you know. You could just ask.'

'Oh My God you're ok!' I almost shouted.

And then I hugged him.

Yes, I actually hugged him.

I could almost feel the grin on his face.

'You know I could get used to this' he said teasingly. 'I should fall out of a tree more often.'

'Shut up.' I told him. 'Now hold still. I need to splint your leg.'

Trying not to completely tear it in two, I ripped the shirt a bit.

Making it about 2 inches in width, I tore the shirt in a spiral so I ended up with a long strip.

I tied one end around the stick, and then started winding it around Sirius' leg, being as gentle as I could.

'Ow' I heard him grunt once or twice under his breath; he was obviously trying not to make a sound.

'Done.' I told him after I had wound the bandage around his whole leg.

I stood up. 'Ok grab my hand I'm going to try and pull you up.' I held out my hand, and he propped himself up on one arm to grab up.

I saw him grimace a bit as he stood, and I instinctively put my arm around his waist to help him stand.

'Don't you dare say anything' I hissed at him just as he opened his mouth.

He grinned at me, but didn't say anything.

Sirius put his arm around my shoulders, and we started limping towards the clearing.

I knew it was the right way because Sirius has a really good sense of direction.

As we stumbled into the clearing we saw Bee leaning against the tree in the middle and Peter, Remus and Sav sitting in a small circle near her.

They jumped up as we came in, and Remus and Peter ran over to help Sirius.

And I could see Bee checking Sirius out.

I almost told her to stop, but checked myself quickly.

They would all wonder why I care.

And I don't.

Why would I care?

I don't.

Definitely.

Probably.

Possibly.

But I'm really tired now.

I should get some sleep.

Night, Kelsey.

James' Diary 10:33pm 9th July 1972

Wow.

When we all turned up at the campsite to find the girls here, and Sirius said we'd join them for a walk, I never expected anything like what happened.

I'm not sure if I should tell anyone or not.

What happened was…well pretty unbelievable.

I mean, what is the chance it would actually happen, let alone it being possible at all.

But you're probably wondering what I'm going on about.

I'll explain from the beginning.

Well, almost the beginning.

I'll start when Lily and I walk off together (not in that way diary! Yea I wish) for hide and seek.

Which was a pretty stupid idea in hindsight.

But we did it anyway.

So I dragged Lily off to almost out of sight of the clearing, her tugging at me, refusing to come along.

But there wasn't really much she could do.

I am, you know, incredibly strong.

As we got almost out of sight, I pulled her so her back was presses against the tree and put an arm on either side of her.

'What the hell are you doing Potter! Leave me alone!' She tried to tug on my arms so she could get free, but I kept them there.

'No. We have to have a talk. You are not moving from this spot until you tell me why you hate me so much and why you like that scrawny Snivellus so much..'

I looked straight into her eyes, not flinching.

I saw so many emotions swirling inside those emerald eyes. (Why do I keep calling them that? They're just green! Guys don't call eyes emerald!)

Confusion.

Surprise.
Annoyance.

But what astonished me most was fear.

I'm not sure what she was scared of, whether it was me, or what she was afraid to tell me, but it didn't matter.

I had to know, and she was going to tell me.

'I-I-I' she stuttered, flinching at my intense stare.

She looks down, and then whispers. 'Sev's a good friend. He's so nice, and can always make me laugh. He tries to protect me from his friends, and he's always nice to my friends, even if they don't like him much. He genuinely cares about me.' Then she looked up. 'Unlike you. You are an arrogant prat, and you'll do what ever you feel like doing, whether it will hurt other people or not. Sev never did anything to you! But yet you still keep bullying him, embarrassing him, even though you know it hurts not only him but me. I don't think I can ever trust you! You keep saying you want to be my friend James, but how can you expect me to even consider it when you don't even care about what I have to say! If you really, truly, want to be my friend James, look me in the eye and tell me that you will stop bullying Sev. Tell me that you're sorry for what you did to him, and you will go apologize. Tell me that, and mean it, then I will consider being your friend James. Go on, say it.'

She glared back at me.

I was stunned.

That was the most Lily had ever said to me.

And to tell you what, I didn't like it.

I mean, who wants to be told that they are an arrogant prat and don't care about anyone!

But I hesitated for too long.

'I didn't think so' she whispered.

Lily shoved my arms out of the way and started walking back to the clearing.

'No, Lily, wait!' I shouted.

I grabbed her arm and pulled her back so she was facing me.

'Lily, I'm sorry! I didn't realize I hurt you so much! My entire family hates Slytherins, I have that prejudice too! I can't help my upbringing! I'm sorry Lily! I really will try. I know I can't ask you to trust me, but I will try to earn your trust. I really will. I promise.'

I put a finger under her chin and lifted her face so she could see my eyes.

I really was serious, I promise you.

I'm not going to bully Sniv-Severus again.

Lily seemed surprised at the amount of sincerity in my eyes.

'F-for real?' She asked, uncertain.

'For real.' I told her.

She bit her lip.

I could tell she was deciding on something.

'Well…' she hesitated. 'Can I show you somewhere? I wanted to show all the others, but they're not here…'

'Of course!' I felt so excited that Lily wanted to show me, me of all people her special place.'

She started winding through trees, so sure of herself I was almost sure she knew the forest off by heart.

Then she stopped at what looked like a wall of trees and bushes.

You could hear the very loud sound of rushing water.

'Where-' I tried to say but she cut me off with a, 'Shhhh!'

She started to climb a tree at the edge of the wall, swinging herself up onto branches until she was above the wall.

She waved to me to follow her, do I climbed up.

By that time Lily had already crept across the branch and swung herself over the wall, landing with a soft thud on the other side.

I followed her, making slightly more noise.

'Shhh!' she scolded, then stepped back so I could see where we were.

We were standing by the lake I had seen when we first arrived, but here it was wider.

There was a waterfall too, water cascading from at least 10 meters high.

The droplets of water formed rainbows from the sunlight, and the water was sparkling like… well like magic.

'Wow' I breathed.

'I know' Lily said, standing next to me. 'I found this place when I was 8. I've been coming here every year since. It's… a place of good. Like nothing evil can get me here. That's how I've always felt.'

'Yea…' I said, only able to stare in awe. 'Hey, let's go across to the other side! We can sneak behind the waterfall! We won't get wet; the water doesn't touch the edge.

I grabbed her hand and pulled her right to the edge of the waterfall.

To my surprise she didn't resist.

I pushed my back to the cold stone and started creeping along, Lily following me.

Then, when we got to the middle, something really weird happened.

Like, really weird.

The stone seemed to vanish, and, with a cry, both Lily and I fell back.

Yea, that weird.

But I have to go.

I'll write later.

But today was a success.

Lily actually likes me!

See ya, James.
